SHEINA ARAGON

Chapter 15

Sheina and Jomarie, seated nearby, listen intently, their eyes fixed on their husbands, a mixture of apprehension and curiosity evident in their expressions.

"What do you mean by that?" Damon said with the hint of danger on his voice but Kristof remain serious at the matter.

"Didn't you investigate your wife's background?"

Damon fiercely but calmly grip the table causing it to break into two and fall to the floor together with their coffee and cakes.

All the people stared at them, confused on what's going on.

Kristof remained emotionless, looking at Damon's dangerous eyes.

"You bastard-" But Jomarie is fast to hold Damon's hands and shake her head for him to calm down.

"Calm down, we're in public. " Haplos na sambit ni Jomarie habang si Sheina nama'y napahawak sa sariling kamay. She can't hold Kristof hands baka itabig nanaman kasi siya nito.

"He's talking about you, my wife!" Damon's gritted his teeth in madness but remained sitted because of the hold of Jomarie's to him.

"I'm just stating the fact Seirvun, your wife is my wife's cousin." Kristof seriously said, he give Damon an envelop with pictures attached in it from his jacket.

Tinanggap naman ito kaagad ni Damon at napamura ng maraming beses ng mabasa ang mga nakasulat at mga litrato.

"I did research about this but you went to far Aragon."

"Exactly, and I want revenge from Gruigor's family without any innocent involve, Itataya ko ang position ko bilang Commander in the military service. Do we have a deal?" Gulat na napatingin si Sheina kay Kristof, gusto niya utong pigilan ngunit wala siyang magagawa kundi makinig at manahimik ba lamang.

"Your taking this as an easy task, Aragon. This is a real matter and you're talking to not so random guy. If my wife is involve I'll do anything to make her safe." Madilim na tumango si Damon kay Kristof, inilahad naman nito ang kamay at nagshake hands sila.

Just like in bussiness meeting,  they've close the deal just like that.

Damon and Kristof went on separate ways together with their wife's.

Napakaraming tanong agad ang nagsulputan sa utak ni Sheina habang nasa byahe sila ni Kristof patungo sa sinasabi nitong bahay dito sa pilipinas, and as a first time foreigner naninibago pa siya sa klima't kapaligiran lalo pa't nakakakita siya ng madaming iba't ibang hugis ng sasakyan, mga hayop at mga taong curious na nakatingin sa kanilang sasakyan habang nadadaanan nila ito.

"Where going to my grandmother's house, she left it for me long time ago-and no more questions-" hindi pa natatapos ang mga sinasabi ni Kristof ng marinig nito ang tiyan ni Sheina na biglang namula.

"Hungry?" Tanong ni Kristof saka minaobra ang sasakyan patungo sa isang drive-thru fast foodchain.

"Jo..llibee?" Hindi makapaniwalang basa ni Sheina sa nakasulat sa building ng fast foodchain.

"It's a famous restaurant here in philippines." Masayang sambit ni Kristof pero hindi siya nakatingin kay Sheina, ayaw niyang tumingin sa babae dahil baka magkaroon ito ng pag asang baka limot na niya ang ginawa ng ama nito.

"There's a lot of kids inside." Namamanghang sambit ni Sheina, hanggang sa makapag order na nga sila't pabalik na sa kalsada ulit.

"This is so good." Kagat ni Sheina sa burger at uminom ng cokefloat. Kristoffer couldn't find but to smile whenever Sheina didn't look over his way, he find Sheina cute with her messily eating the burger with some smudge on her face but he didn't make any mive to wipe it, he just focus on the road ahead, hiding his emotion for Sheina not to see.

Nakarating sila sa pribadong village. Pagpasok palamang ng gate ng village may security agad na makakasalubong after that Sheina saw a lot of beautiful houses with almost 4th floor houses and some grandiose gardens full of pretty flowers and some trees.

"Where are we?" Tanonv ni Sheina ngunit pinasadahan lang siya ng tingin ni Kristof at pinark ang sasakyan sa garahe ng 2 story na bahay, It's color pale sky blue with hint of caramel.

"I told you, where here at my grandmothers house who she pass it down to me long time ago, after she died." Kristofer said without even looking at her direction and open the front door with the keys on hand.

Nalungkot bigla si Sheina at kakausapin pa sana si Kristof-nang makapasok na ito ng bahay hindi pa nga sana siya papasok dahil naaaliw siya sa mga balaklak sa hardin ng bahay pero kailangan niyang sundan ang lalaki.

Pagpasok sa loob ay nakita niya kaagad si Kristof na dala-dala ang mga bagahe niya papaakyat sa hagdan.

"Kristof--" naputol ang mga sasabihin niya ng lumingon sakanya ang lalaki. His eyes are cold and didn't hold any emotion causing her heart to break. He never look into her that way before.

"There's no maid in here, you'll clean the house and all, tend me as your husband, understood?"

"P-pero hindi a-ako katulong-"

"You wanted me to marry you? And now your not capable of being a wife? Do I file some divorce paper then or put your family in jail?" Halos manghina siya sa mga sinabi ni Kristof sa kanya, halos nawalan siya ng lakas-his so different, his so cold towards her, heartless on her family and now she didn't know how to approach him or how to act beside him.

"N-no.." Napahikbi si Sheina't napahawak sa dibdib bago yumuko upang hindi na niya makita pa ang matatalas at napakalamig na mga tiyig ni Kristof.

"From now on, your my wife and do whatever I want." Sa huling mga sinabi ni Kristof parang gusto na ni Sheina ang bumalik sa Russia, how her mom cherish her is the most she misses already.

She walk back to the garden for her tears and heart to settle down but she couldn't stop it, kaya napahagulgul siya ng iyak katabi ng mga pulang rosas, she even put her hands on her face to stop her from sobbing.

3 days have past and her chores are not really doing any well except for cooking, she always prepare delecious food for Kristof but the man always have some coffee from her and leave the house, reasoning that he have some thing his been working on.

"Sheina, I file some paper and the Major fired you as a Lieutenant. And your now a normal citizen. You're no longer a soldier." Kristof simple said that made Sheina stop from what her doing and the glass plates fall from ger hands causing it to loudly breaks on the tiled floor.

"Y-you what?"
